(“Hudbay” or the “Company”) (TSX, NYSE: HBM) is pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced acquisition of Mitsubishi Materials Corporation’s (“MMC”) 25% interest in Copper Mountain Mine (BC) Ltd. (the “Transaction”). As a result of the Transaction, Hudbay now owns 100% of the Copper Mountain mine. Hudbay has made the initial US$4.5 million cash payment to MMC with the remaining deferred and contingent cash payments to be made in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, as described in Hudbay’s March 27, 2025 news release. The consolidation of the Copper Mountain mine further supports Hudbay’s strategy of increasing its copper production in tier-1 mining jurisdictions. The additional attributable production from the Copper Mountain mine reinforces Hudbay’s position as the second largest copper producer in Canadai and further strengthens its position as a North American copper champion. With the closing of the Transaction, Hudbay has initiated a review of its Canadian corporate structure which is anticipated to generate tax synergies through the sharing of tax pools between its various Canadian entities. Hudbay values its longstanding relationship with MMC and looks forward to continued collaboration with MMC at the Copper Mountain mine through its offtake and secondee partnerships.
